Vance in Phoenix, Arizona, the headquarters of his non -profit organization, Turning Point USA, which he co -founded in 2012 at the age of 18 and has become the largest conservative group of young people in the US in the last decade.
Originating from the suburbs of Chicago, a Christian and supporter of the right to gun possession, this father of two prematurely gave up college to devote himself to activism.
Following the assassination, 30 -year -old Influencer and Podcaster, with a large presence on social media with millions of followers on various platforms, has been described as a “witness” by the American Right.
Trump, who plans to attend his funeral, has accused the “radical left” since the day of the murder before seeking self -restraint.
